The study was an attempt to capture Anopheles stephensi from cattle sheds during dawn to understand the realistic density of the resting mosquitoes. A 2-year longitudinal study was carried out in cattle sheds in close proximity to the human dwellings to collect the resting vector mosquitoes. The man-hour density of An. stephensi ranged from 24.7 to 206.5. The vector incrimination results indicated 0.15% of An. stephensi infected with Pv210 in 2015 and 0.09% in 2016. The current study indicated that cattle sheds are still the preferred resting place of An. stephensi and that dawn is the perfect time to collect and estimate its densities. Hence, adult vector control may also be given due importance in addition to the routine larval source management measures to curb malaria transmission in an urban setting.

Context: The contamination of soil by pathogenic protozoan parasites from both human and animal feces, is an important factor in the spread of parasitic infections globally. This contamination also serves as a crucial reservoir for zoonotic diseases, facilitating their transmission. In many developing nations, including India, there's limited documentation on the extent of soil contamination, which poses challenges for implementing effective One Health strategies aimed at controlling these infections.

In vitro embryo production (IVP) in cattle is crucial for advancing genetic enhancement and preserving valuable genetic lineages, enabling precise genetic modifications and gene studies through modern techniques. Successful genetic manipulation in cattle embryos requires efficient delivery of exogenous DNA/RNA molecules. This research investigates the efficacy of a single embryo culture system for developing genetically modified zona-free (ZF) embryos and examines the use of liposome-based SAMTOR target siRNA transfer in these individually cultured ZF embryos.

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland tissue that can lead to decreased milk production and altered milk composition, carrying serious implications for the safety of dairy products. Although both caffeic acid (CA) and umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) showed potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, little is known about their combined roles in treating mastitis. Here, we report the combined effects and mechanisms of CA and UC-MSCs on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mastitis.

The study of fatty acid (FA) and mineral content in beef is crucial for bridging health and taste. Understanding these components is essential for catering to consumer preferences for nutritious and tasty food, in line with current dietary trends and health recommendations. This holistic view of beef quality is key to helping both producers and consumers make more knowledgeable and health-oriented decisions in meat consumption.
